What begins with jokes about broken cameras, AI quirks, and livestream struggles quickly expands into reflections on coups, world instability, political theater, and the sense that 2025 is teetering on the edge of something big. The hosts mix humor, personal stories, cultural observations, and spontaneous tangents while interacting with the chat and reacting to whatever chaos surfaces next.

Spellbreakers Ep.145 :Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Puncher of Heretics? + 1700 Years since the Council of Nicaea

Matt Trump battles tech gremlins and camera failures before settling in for a relaxed, story-filled exploration of the Nicene Creed on its 1700th anniversary, and the surprising role of St. Nicholas in the ancient struggle for Christian doctrine. He walks viewers through the origins of the Creed, the Greek philosophical roots behind its precise language, and why distinctions like homoousion vs. homoiousion mattered so deeply to the early Church. Matt contrasts this rigorous pursuit of meaning with today’s deconstructed culture, where words and truth have become unmoored. Along the way, he traces the real history of St. Nicholas, his feast-day traditions, and the legends surrounding his supposed confrontation with Arius at Nicaea. With sponsor shoutouts, personal reflections, linguistic deep dives, humor, and a warm Advent-season tone, Matt uses history to illuminate the modern fight against a world losing its grip on meaning, memory, and faith.

MAHA News: [12.5] - Glyphosate Study Retracted (MONSANTO), Vaccine News (COVID), DMSO Chat

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince spend this episode untangling a massive week of medical, regulatory, and food-system revelations, starting with the bombshell retraction of a decades-old glyphosate study after editors admitted Monsanto ghost-wrote it, undermining the scientific backbone of pesticide approvals. They move into the FDA’s leaked internal memo linking COVID vaccines to at least ten child deaths, the media’s frantic attempt to contain the story, and the unusual spectacle of former FDA commissioners rushing to publicly denounce their own agency. Jordan and Nate then cover RFK Jr.’s overhaul of vaccine advisory committees, the stunning vote to remove Hepatitis B from the childhood schedule, and the political fight exploding in Illinois as the state positions itself to override CDC guidance. From there, they dig into the USDA’s crackdown on blue-state refusal to hand over SNAP-fraud data, revealing hundreds of thousands of dead or duplicate benefit recipients, and examine DOJ pressure on meat packers, raw-milk regulations, and the long-awaited PRIME Act. The episode wraps with conversations on DMSO, holistic health, doom-scrolling addiction, sardine challenges, and the push to reclaim nutrition, sovereignty, and sanity in a captured system.
 

Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 62: Congo’s Critical Minerals, Rwanda Tensions, and the Global Dominoes - December 5, 2025

In this snow-day edition of Geopolitics with Ghost, Gordon breaks down the fast-moving and deeply tangled situation unfolding in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. He walks through the Trump-brokered peace signing with Presidents Kagame and Tshisekedi, the ongoing M23 rebel clashes, and why the mineral-rich Kivu region sits at the center of a decades-long geopolitical struggle. Ghost connects the dots on how rare earth metals, tech giants like Apple, Gulf-state investment, and the long shadow of the Israeli diamond cartel all converge in this conflict.
From Mossad’s covert interference to coup attempts, laundered minerals, and the collapse of legacy monopolies, Ghost exposes how global powers are reshaping Africa’s future, and how Trump’s strategy is forcing bad actors into the light. He also examines Apple’s legal troubles, Al-Shabaab’s sudden appearance in the region, and the broader implications for Russia, China, Venezuela, and the emerging sovereign-alliance realignment.
A packed episode loaded with evidence, timelines, maps, and hard truths, all pointing to a world in rapid transition.

The Daily Herold: 12/5/25 – The Pipe Bomber Indictment & National Security Strategy

Jon Herold opens the show with a deep dive into the newly released affidavit in the January 6th pipe-bomber case, walking through how investigators claim they identified Brian Cole Jr., the political spin now emerging around the arrest, and why both incompetence and deliberate delay remain on the table. From surveillance footage to purchase records to unexplained investigative gaps, Jon highlights the unanswered questions and the narratives forming on both sides. He then turns to the Trump administration’s newly published National Security Strategy, breaking down its shift toward sovereignty, regional responsibility, economic nationalism, border security, energy dominance, and the rejection of globalist priorities. Jon contrasts this broader, principle-driven framework with the failures of post-Cold War foreign policy and explores the document’s implications for Europe, China, the Middle East, and American elections. Packed with analysis, humor, and sharp commentary, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how national security, geopolitical strategy, and domestic political battles are converging.

Badlands Daily: 12/5/25 – J6 Pipe Bomber Caught(?), Hegseth Exonerated, Drug Boat Blown Up, Texas Map Upheld

CannCon and Chris Paul tackle a whirlwind of breaking stories, beginning with Congress’s sudden panic over AI “deepfake” election interference, a narrative they argue is designed to pre-blame Trump and justify new censorship powers. They pivot to Alabama’s border revolt, where the state vows to defend its sovereignty while DHS plays political games with illegal-immigration numbers and asylum fraud. From there, they break down the media’s bizarre framing of J6, the federal government’s collapsing credibility, and Kamala Harris’s strange, overly theatrical public appearances. The hosts also examine Trump’s mounting pressure campaigns, the manufactured panic over tariffs, and new polling exposing how thoroughly the public has rejected legacy-media narratives. With sharp analysis, humor, and Chris Paul’s signature pattern recognition, this episode cuts through misinformation to explain what’s actually happening and why the establishment seems increasingly desperate.
 
 
 

Rugpull Radio Ep. 138: Special Guest Jonathan Drake on The Spooner Standard: How Bitcoin Actualized 19th-Century Anarchist Property Law

GMoney welcomes Jonathan Drake for a deep, fast-moving conversation connecting Lysander Spooner’s 19th-century natural-law philosophy to Bitcoin’s modern proof-of-work revolution. Drake traces his path from homeschooling outsider to Spooner scholar, explaining how Spooner’s ideas on property, consent, taxation, and absolute dominion became the missing framework that finally made Bitcoin “click.” Together they break down why the right to self-custody, non-confiscation, and immutable contracts fulfills the anarchist property model Spooner envisioned, and why today’s government structures, monetary systems, and voting rituals violate natural law by definition. The discussion ranges from jury nullification, fractional-reserve fraud, and the Civil War’s monetary triggers to Q-era decentralization, Trump-era regulatory shifts, and Bitcoin’s emergence as the first tool capable of dismantling the proof-of-stake tyranny Spooner warned about. Blending philosophy, history, rebellion, and Bitcoin maximalism, this episode shows how a forgotten abolitionist gave language to the digital 1776 unfolding now.

SITREP Ep. 137 – The J6 Pipe Bomber, Affidavit Red Flags, and the FBI’s Timeline Problem

CannCon and Alpha Warrior take a full SITREP approach to the newly released affidavit in the January 6 pipe-bomber case, breaking down the timeline, receipts, surveillance clips, clothing changes, and the long-delayed investigative breadcrumbs that finally led to an arrest. They dig into the gaps, missing timestamps, unexplained investigative pauses, contradictory details about cell data and cameras, and the FBI’s claim that key evidence surfaced only years later. The hosts question whether incompetence, narrative pressure, or intentional obstruction shaped the investigation, while examining Kyle Seraphin’s early reporting, the suspect’s behaviors, and how the story has shifted over time. With Alpha’s skepticism and CannCon’s document-driven analysis, they unpack what holds up, what doesn’t, and why this case raises more questions than answers.
